Overdressed? A question of definition.
In actual fact, you can experience the "overdressed" phenomenon in almost any situation in life, starting with a birthday where all the other guests are casually dressed whilst you have gone all-out. Being overdressed means being dressed much smarter than the people around you. This is often associated with the uncomfortable feeling of clearly standing out from the crowd.
However, whether you'd call yourself overdressed or merely as extremely smartly dressed depends entirely on you and the way you feel.
Dressing smart is fun and can make you feel good. Many people simply feel more comfortable dressed in smart clothes. Granted, you may look overdressed to others, but you have still done everything right.
Almost everyone wears clothes to work that are different to those they wear at home. There are of course reasons for this. Even if you are perfectly at liberty to choose what to wear, there are certain standards that are expected and must also be maintained. In jobs where you have a lot of face to face contact with customers, for example, looking neat and tidy is important – what is acceptable and what isn't
varies a lot and depends to a considerable extent on the industry. A banker, for example, is more likely to have to opt for a smart suit than someone who works for an advertising agency or in one of the trades. On your search for the perfect outfit, you'll often come across the terms "casual", "business casual and "business". We explain what they mean.
Everything is a bit more relaxed these days , and dress codes no longer apply all too strictly . You can therefore never go wrong with a tasteful, sophisticated outfit. When starting a new job, simply look to your colleagues for guidance, or browse the company's website beforehand. If you are absolutely not sure and don't want to turn up either over- or underdressed, you can also just ask the company or your friends beforehand what you should wear.

Conclusion: you can never be overdressed
If we have learnt one thing, it is to always go for overdressed, rather than underdressed, if you are unsure. Being overdressed does not only have a negative side, on the contrary. Fashion is a medium of expression and communicates a certain feeling to everyone we meet. If you are better dressed than those around you, this subconsciously communicates power and authority. You can intentionally use this to your advantage in some situations. Plus: clothes can always be taken off. If you feel much to overdressed in a situation, you can simply take off your suit jacket or remove your tie, whereas it tends to be rather difficult to conjure up a suit jacket from somewhere if you need one. bugatti sells everything you need to strike the right balance between casual and business.
